Activation and Preparation

  2. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Incorporating Raspberries and Shaping

  2. Divide the dough into equal portions, shape each portion into a bun, and place them in a greased baking dish.
Final Rising and Baking
  1. Cover the buns and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
